Summary: rexx manpage error on Ubuntu w/ 7.04 package

Initial Comment:
I was doing some initial testing on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, set to release soon. I got an error trying to 'man rexx' as follows:

I had not looked at the list of patches, merely bugs, and saw none against
the deb package.

So has that patch resulted in an updated version of this particular deb
package that I should test, or just fixed in svn for now?

Thanks!

I believe this may have been fixed with patch: [ 1827428 ] man pages
category wrong.

Moritz committed revision 1274 as a fix.

I guess I had not tested 'man rexx' with the 3.2 version of ooRexx. Same
error on another system with Ubuntu 7.04, so I updated the summary line.

Oh, I installed via the Ubuntu 7.04 package.
